Hello, Gaspare, sorry for the belated reply. Yes, I agree, if OFW didn't know about or had doubts on something I would definitely avoid buying an item unless the price was real low. And while this was a striking looking design and seemed to be of good construction etc. like most collectors, I'd hate to spend good money on an item and later find out it was bogus. I didn't know about Central Indiana Auctions, very interesting information. Yes, a loss of a couple of hundred dollars wouldn't be terrible but this was in the 700 dollar range, which if the flag was good, would be a very good price I'd say, but if fake, I'd be pretty bent out of shape taking a loss in that amount. There's always something else that comes along. Thanks again for your comment
Bill
